Airport Construction Alert: Pile Driving Begins

Beginning this week, pile driving for the foundation of The Green Build Terminal 2 expansion will get under way. Approximately 20 piles will be installed each day. The piles are needed to provide support for the framework of the 445,000 square-foot addition to Terminal 2.The Airport Authority recognizes that this activity may potentially impact airport neighbors and passengers traveling through Terminal 2, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we proceed with this phase of construction. Pile driving activity will last for several months.

·

We are working to minimize any disruption by pre-drilling for the piles. However, depending on proximity to the pile driving, you may hear noise or feel vibration.

·

Pile driving activity will take place to the west of the existing terminal during daytime hours only, from approximately 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. on weekdays.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the construction hotline at (619) 400-2288 or send an e-mail to greenbuild@san.org.

The Green Build will bring a number of long-awaited upgrades to passengers
traveling in and out of San Diego International Airport. As the largest
improvement project in the airport's history, The Green Build will help meet
the airport's current and future demand for travel, while improving customer
service and serving as an economic stimulus for the San Diego region.
Improvements include 10 new gates, a dual-level roadway in front of
Terminal 2 to separate arriving and departing passengers and reduce curb front
congestion, more security lanes, expanded waiting areas and more shopping and
dining options. The Green Build, a $1 billion project, will create 1,000 jobs
at peak construction. Travelers can expect to take advantage of the finished
facilities in 2013.

The Green Build means big
opportunities for local small, disadvantaged, minority or woman-owned and
disabled veteran businesses in the San Diego region. Learn more
